I have been using a Titanium Innovations Charger (this one) for some time.
All seems OK, it has independent channels, refreshing function, and does not heat up batts since it takes quite long to charge them (3hours or so)
I also has a display that shows charging progress. For each channel there is a 4 segment bar and it blinks with a rate of 1 sec or so.
Sorry for being kinda long but I had to show how it works...
So just of the heck of it, I tried measuring charging current with my DMM.
What I saw is that the DMM readings pulsed from 0 to 1.69 following the rate the "charging bars" blinked.
Seems that the charger pulses charging current then rests to measure battery voltage and avoid heat buildup(?).
Now...if it is so, how good a charging algorithm is this?
